As part of the Multifamily for Tomorrow Transformation, HUD’s Boston Satellite Office and the Northeast Region now have designated Grants Specialists overseeing HUD grant programs.  In order to get acquainted with their valued customers and address questions, HUD invites program participants in the New England states to a Huddle with Grantees.  The Huddle is designed for clients working with Resident Services Coordinator [RSC], Congregate Housing Services Program [CHSP], or Assisted Living Conversion Program [ALCP] grants, or for clients that have budget-funded RSCs. 

Budget-funded RSCs with policy questions or concerns are also welcome.  Applicants for the Social Services Demonstration grants are welcome to attend.  Note that Resident Services Coordinators in Public Housing have somewhat different program guidance, which will not be addressed at this training.  In addition to meeting Grant Specialists and field leadership in HUD, staff will provide guidance on important grant related topics to make attendees work with RSCs easier, current vouchering requirements, LOCCS access, how to increase RSC hours and funding, and report preparation.  

To register for in person attendance, in the Boston office, please send an email including your name, contact information, company, and the name of the HUD project(s) you service, and any grant-related questions you would like answered, and/or topics you’d like covered, to [email protected], and  [email protected].  Space is limited, so please reserve your place as soon as possible.  Nearest Parking: 31 Lancaster St, or 600 Commercial St., or you could park at a T stop in Riverside, or Alewife, and take the T in. 

If you plan to participate via conference call, please send an email including your name, contact information, company, and the name of the HUD project(s) you service, and any grant-related questions you would like answered, and/or topics covered, to [email protected],  and [email protected].
